Job description

26-27 Financial Stability Events Coordinator VISTA-DC

If you are beginning your career or changing careers, in this placement you'll develop transferable skills in time and project management, relationship development, conducting surveys, database management, and process improvement. If you are looking for a post-retirement position, we will welcome your experience and wisdom! Catholic Charities DC Volunteer Engagement Office (VEO) welcomes members of the community to join our mission by standing in solidarity with the +180K people annually accessing the agency's services via our 50+ programs and 30+ locations in Washington DC and 5 counties in Maryland. The VISTA in this role will support Catholic Charities' Financial Stability Network (FSN). FSN comprises a director and more than 100 volunteer financial experts who help low- and moderate-income people with free financial mentoring, financial education, and tax return preparation. The VISTA's work includes supporting FSN events and program management to drive continuous improvement in our processes for working with clients, volunteers, and partner organizations. As a VISTA in FSN, you'll join a fast-paced, highly collaborative, and very visible team. In FSN, VISTA members are warmly welcomed, become part of a tight-knit team, and are supported to pursue their professional development goals while achieving program goals. We are a team that makes a difference. If you want to do important work alongside dedicated colleagues and volunteers at a large not-for-profit (side note: CC DC is the largest non-government social service agency in the region!), this is the position for you. This VISTA position is a part of Catholic Charities USA's Family Strengthening Program, a national intermediary project. As a member, you will meet virtually with VISTA Leaders and other VISTAs serving throughout the country, all focused on alleviating poverty. VISTA members who successfully complete their year of service will earn unique benefits.

Member Duties : The goal of this VISTA project is to build FSN's ability to help low- and moderate- income people reach and sustain financial stability by providing free financial training, mentoring, and income tax return preparation. The VISTA will provide communications and logistical support to in-person and virtual FSN events where volunteers engage in "hands-on" activities (e.g., tax preparation clinics and financial education classes). The VISTA will also engage with clients, volunteers, supporters, and partner organizations to identify and implement improvements to FSN's processes and information management. That engagement will include debriefs on FSN events; surveys and focus groups, and outreach to peer organizations (including those in CC-DC) to identify best practices. The VISTA will use the information gained in these engagement activities to document and communicate improvements to processes, thereby increasing FSN"s capacity to serve its clients.
